REVIEW FOR FINAL
Problem 1: Given the demand equation and supply equation .
a) Assuming pure competition, find the consumer surplus and producer surplus.
b) Suppose the government decides to impose a tax $5 per unit of good. Work out new PS and
CS.
Determine the change in total surplus of whole economy.
Problem 2: A firm is allowed to charge different prices for its domestic and industrial
customers. If P and Q denote the price and demand for the domestic market then the demand
1 1
equation is . If P and Q denote the price and demand for the industrial market then
2 2
the demand equation is . Total cost function is given by . Find the
price of each market that the firm should charge to maximise profit.
Problem 3: An individual9s utility function is given where x and x denote the number
1 2
of items of two goods, pizza and pasta, respectively. The prices of the goods are $10 and $2,
respectively. Assuming that the individual has $100 to spend on these goods. Find the number of
pizza or pasta dishes to maximize utility function.
Problem 4: During Covid-19 period, company A decides to launch two new products, hand-gel
and face mask. The cost of making each bottle is $16 and the cost for each face mask is $12. The
company recognizes that this is a risky venture so decides to limit the total weekly production costs
to $400. Also, due to a shortage of skilled labor, the total number of products that the company
can produce in a week is at most 30. In market, the selling price of each hand-gel bottle is $23 and
$18 for each face mask.
a) How should the company arrange production to maximize profit?
b) Suppose the president of IU offers from company A to provide anti-infected items for students.
The school9s budget is $8024. They found that the quantity of face mask needs to be larger as
twice as that of the hand-gel bottle because of the frequency of usage. By using the matrix method,
find the number of each type that IU orders.
